To run the color customizer, perform the following steps:
1. Copy the files CUSTOM.UID and CUSTOM.EXE, which were
created during the building of the customizer, to the
directory from which the customizer will be run. A
typical location is SYS$LOGIN or DECW$USER_DEFAULTS.
2. Copy the files CUSTOM.DAT and DXMDEFAULTS.DAT from
DECW$EXAMPLES to the same location as in step 1.
Typically SYS$LOGIN or DECW$USER_DEFAULTS.
3. Run the executable file CUSTOM.EXE.
$ RUN CUSTOM
________________________ Note ________________________
Only the colors of applications invoked after the
customizer starts will be affected. For this reason,
make the customizer the first X application to start
during the login process.

o Modifying DECW$LOGIN.COM
The color customizer should be the first X application
started during the login process. This can be accomplished
by starting it as a subprocess from within your file
DECW$LOGIN.COM. You will also want to add a command to
wait, approximately 10 seconds, to allow the customizer
to get started before starting other applications. Add the
following lines to DECW$LOGIN.COM:
$! Starting the color customizer
$ DISPLAY = F$LOGICAL("DECW$DISPLAY")
$ SPAWN/NOWAIT/OUTPUT='DISPLAY' RUN SYS$LOGIN:CUSTOM.EXE
$ WAIT 0:0:10
